Hi Daisy, that's a funny image, but I should warn you against replying to any spam as it confirms that your email address is real and in current use. It can then be sold onto other spammers for more money. It's hard to resist, buit I'd recommend never replying to a spammer.

You are being too generous Naniani, I would suggest that the thinness of the response this month is an accurate reflection of folks' lack of enthusiasm for a task that was always going to generate contrived images of no great photographic worth; people have simply voted with their feet. There may well be a flush of entries at the very last and it would be good if there were, there is a great deal of loyalty among the gang who regularly contribute but without some proper 'meaty' tasks to get our teeth into, this once excellent monthly competition will wither on the vine.

Heavens .... I sound like one of the contributors to that TV series 'Grumpy Old Men' !

“Individually you can pick holes in any photo you take, that’s the nature of photographers”: Timothy Allen. The same can be said of any comment on the forum.

Yes, this months assignment is difficult but I don't agree it's a lack of enthusiasm, it's a difficult subject to shoot as a natural humorous occasion will be always shooting in a split second at that moment of time.

Yesterday such an occasion occurred while I was shooting surfers in heavy seas and a guy got completely swamped by a large wave over the break wall. At that time my wife was in stitches laughing while I was trying to dry my camera, so no shot.
